Matthew Stephens '27 Recruiting Profile

I began playing football when I was 7 years old.  I immediately fell in love with the game.  Every since then I have wanted to play at the highest level I can.  My dream is to play in the NFL and my first step to getting to the NFL is to play at the college level.  The highlight of my football career so far has been winning the championship in our division last year.

I feel like I would be a great asset to any college team that I would play for.  I have been a starter on each side of the ball since I began playing.  I have been selected as Defensive/Team MVP multiple times.  My defensive coach said I am the most coachable player he has ever had.  I have stepped up to be a leader on my team, both on and off the field.  I am also very committed to making myself the best player that I can be.  I am currently working out twice a week with a triathlete at his home gym, and the rest of the week I am working out at home and with some of my previous coaches in the offseason.  

I currently have a 3.07 GPA and I am working to bring that even higher.  

I am looking forward to attending college and furthering my football career.
